kitchen + batha luxury of spaceSophisticated materials and a smart layout combine to create astunning kitchen and bath in a Providence condominiumWritten by JILL CONNORSPhotography by SAM GRAY

The penthouse condominium had two outstanding elements: raw space and a fantastic
view. “It was just a gray box when we
started the project,” says Julie Lancia,
a Rhode Island native who trained
at Parsons School of Design in New
York and studied furniture design in
Milan before opening her own design
firm, ALX Group, in Providence. The
2,800-square-foot condominium on
the 31st floor of a newly constructed
tower in downtown Providence had
nothing more than concrete floors and
labyrinthine ductwork, which meant
Lancia could introduce all the design
elements the client wanted, while also
maximizing the vistas of the city and
beyond.
